      Leader, Machinist – Night Shift (4pm - 2:30am)
      Grand Rapids, MI:

      Are you the machinist that others turn to when the setup is challenging, tolerances are tight, or a problem needs to be solved? ArtiFlex Manufacturing is looking for a hands-on leader to guide our night shift machining team and play a key role in building world-class stamping dies.

      This is more than a machining or supervisory position—it's an opportunity to lead by example, mentor talented machinists, and help produce complex tooling that powers the automotive industry.

      • Lead night shift machining operations for large die components used in progressive, transfer, forming, and stamping dies.
      • Review and optimize WorkNC CAM programs while supporting precision CNC machining from roughing through finish work.
      • Partner with tool designers, engineers, and programmers to ensure components are manufactured accurately and efficiently.
      • Troubleshoot machining challenges, improve processes, and maintain the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
      • Coach and support machinists on the floor, balancing technical expertise with day-to-day leadership to keep work moving safely and on schedule.

      • You take pride in precision work and want to build tooling that requires advanced machining knowledge and attention to detail.
      • You want to make an impact—not just by making parts, but by helping others succeed.

      What We're Looking For
      • 7+ years of experience in tool & die machining.
      • Strong experience machining large die components and structural tool steel parts.
      • Advanced CNC programming and CAM knowledge, with WorkNC experience preferred.
      • Proven ability to hold tight tolerances and solve complex machining challenges.
      • A collaborative, hands-on leadership style and a commitment to continuous improvement.
